What Starbucks Drink Matches Your Nursing Specialty?
As a nurse, you’re always on the move–just like your caffeine fix. Whether you’re scrubbing in for a long shift, triaging patients in the ER, or floating between assignments, there’s a Starbucks drink that perfectly matches your specialty. So, what’s your go-to order? Let’s find out!
Emergency Room (ER) Nurse – Espresso Shot(s)
Adrenaline-fueled, fast-paced, and always ready for anything–you need purse, unfiltered energy. The ER runs on quick decision-making, and so do you. A straight-up espresso shot (or two… or three) is the only way to keep up with the chaos.
ICU Nurse – Nitro Cold Brew
Cool under pressure, sharp, and always alert–the Nitro Cold Brew is your ICU soulmate. It’s smooth, strong, and packed with caffeine to keep you going during those critical moments when every second counts.
Labor & Delivery (L&D) Nurse – Caramel Macchiato
Sweet, comforting, and a little extra–just like you! L&D nurses bring new life into the world and create an unforgettable experience for patients and families. The Caramel Macchiato is the perfect mix of strength (espresso) and warmth (vanilla & caramel), just like your caring touch.
Med-Surg Nurse – Classic Pike Place Roast
The backbone of nursing specialties, Med-Surg nurses handle it all. You need a reliable, no-nonsense coffee that fuels your long shifts. Enter the Pike Place Roast–a Starbucks staple, just like you are to every hospital you work in.
Pediatric Nurse – Cotton Candy Frappuccino
Fun, creative, and full of energy, you make hospital stays a little less scary for the kiddos. The Cotton Candy Frappuccino (a Vanilla Bean Frapp with raspberry syrup) is bright, playful, and as sweet as your bedside manner.
OR Nurse – Flat White
Precision and skill are your trademarks, and so is your coffee. The Flat White is bold yet smooth, with just the right balance of espresso and velvety microfoam–perfect for an OR nurse who values control and consistency.
Telemetry Nurse – Iced Shaken Espresso
You’re monitoring rhythms and staying ahead of changes, so your drink has to keep up. The Iced Shaken Espresso is refreshing, strong, and full of life–just like your nursing skills.
Psych Nurse
Soothing, thoughtful, and always there to listen, you bring calm to even the most stressful situations. A London Fog Tea Latte–with its gentle Earl Grey tea and cozy vanilla notes–is the perfect match for your comforting presence.
Travel Nurse
Versatile, adventurous, and always ready for something new, travel nurses are like the Pumpkin Spice Latte–a seasonal favorite that thrives wherever it goes! Whether you’re embracing fall in New England or sipping your PSL by the California coast, you bring excitement wherever you land.
So, what’s your perfect match? Next time you grab you Starbucks fix before a shift, try the drink that embodies your specialty! And if you’re looking for your next assignment, TotalMed has the perfect job to go with your coffee order.
